Letter from Jim Baul Giving Family History
Hi, My name is James Patrick Blaul and for years I have been researching the Campbell side of my family. The family worked as fishermen off of Lough Neagh and my great great grandfather James Patrick Campbell died in Lough Neagh in Nov 1880 at the age of 40. The family definitely was from Co Tyrone, Ardboe, in the townland of Farsnagh. That was based on a very recent find of my great grandfather's birth registry. There is so much unknown. How many brothers and sisters did my great grandfather have (Patrick James Campbell)? Where did they attend church/mass (Roman Catholic)? How long did my great great grandmother live and where is she buried? Did she remarry? Are there distant relatives on the Campbell or Dillon side in Northern Ireland? Any help you can provide will be appreciated! Sincerely, Jim Blaul 7151 West 177th Place Tinley Park, IL 60477 USA HOME- 00 1 (708) 614-0798 E-MAIL-jimblaul@concentric.net PS- I am enclosing many of the documents I have on the family. The only thing I did not include is the Griffith Valuation document from the 1860s, which mentions Mary Dillon in Farnsagh.
